I have had my 2020 passat for two months. I had gotten my oil changed and about a week after I noticed my engine coolant was nearly empty and there was quite a bit of coolant all-over the engine splash guard. It loses engine coolant at high rpms or when warmed up. I used an engine coolant pressure sensor and there is no "leak" but I'm still losing coolant. I've added nearly two containers so far.
What makes this problem better or worse?
Worse when engine is warmed up

It sounds like you might be dealing with a leak that's difficult to spot. Since you've mentioned that coolant loss worsens when the engine is warmed up and at high RPMs, the coolant may be only leaking under high system pressure from somewhere not easily visible, like the radiator.
Since this is a potentially severe issue, I recommend having a trusted mechanic inspect it thoroughly.
